AnIndfan's Ingenuity.


A Western emigrant having stolen
horse from an Indian, the latter convicted
him of the offense by a very ingenious
plan. He complained to a judge, who had
the emigrant, with the horse, brought be-
fore him. The prisoner swore that the
animal belonged to him, and that he had
brought it from the East, so that the
judge did not find himself in a position to
convict He was even about to return the
horse to him, when the Indian said: "If
you will allow me, / will prove that the
animal belongs to me-" Immediately he
pulled off his cloak, and covering the
horses head, asked the emigrant of which
eye it was blind? The rObber was much
embarrassed at the question, but, never
theless, not to delay the court, he replied
at hazard that it was the right eye. The
Indian, uncoveriug the head, exclaimed:
''The horse is not blind either of the RICH
eye or the left.' The judge immediately
decided that the animal was his.

A FATHERS HINT.

How Prof White Was Induced to Com
pete for College Prize.
There is an excellent point for both
father and son in DR.. Andrew D. Whites
account of his early education in the
Forlnt. One day while at Yale he re-
ceived a letter from his father asking
young White to meet him in New York.
The son FASTENED to obey, and the father
took this way of giving the boy hint.
He had taken some of the literary prizes
while in college, and as he was about to
return to New Haven, his father said:
BY the way, there is another prize, the
largest of all to be competed for. 1"
''Yes," the son answered ''the De-
Forest; but 1 stand little chance
of that; for, though I may be one
of the six Townsend prize-men admitted
TO the competition, there are other speak
ers 80 much better that [ have little hope
Of taking it." He gave the son rather a
Bcornful look and said very impressively:
tIf were one of the first six competitors
In a class of over hundred men, / should
try very hard to be the first one" He said
nothing more, except goodbye. Young
White went back to college, engaged an
elocutionist to give him a course in vocal
gymnastics, developed a strong, round,
flexible voice, and did his best,
which, in the competition with others,
was considered to be the best eff
fort of the six in oratory, and won the De
Forest prize. The story is characteristic
of the father and the son, and reveals the
secret of the success of the lives of both.
Most college youth take the bulls by the
horns, but young White took the course
that meant success and won what he
aimed to secure. He has won at the best
end all through his life. The incident was
one of the testing points of the man. The
elder White knew where and how to ap-
peal to his sons ambition, and the son
know how to take hint and work it out
for all it was worth.

TRIBES OF DWARFS,
The Three Most Notable Communities
Pigmies in Africa.

The Three Most Notable Communities of
Pigmies in Africa.
A while ago Mr.. Grenfell, of the
Congo missions, encountered on the
Bosari river, south of the Congo, the
Batwa dwarfs whom Stanley mentions
in THE Dark Continent" though
Stanley did not see them. Grenfell
says these little people exist over a large
extent of country, their villages being
scattered here and there among other
tribes. Wissmann and Pogge also met
them a few years ago in their journey
to Nyangwe.
1t was long supposed that the story
of Herodotus about the pigmies of At
RIGA was mythical, but within the past
twenty years abundant evidence has
accumulated of the existence of a num-
Der of tribes of curious little folks in
equatorial Africa. The chief among
these tribes are the Aka, whom
Schweinfurth found northwest of AL
bert Nvassa; the ObongO, discovered by
Du Chaillu in west Africa, southeast Of
GaboOn, and the Batwa south of Congo.
These little people range in height
from four feet two inches to about four
feet six inches. They are intellectu-
ally as well as physically inferior to
the other tribes of Africa. They are
perhaps nearer the brute kingdom than
any other human beings. The ObOngo,
for instance, wear no semblance of
clothing; make no huts except to bend
over and fasten to the ground the tops
of three or fOdr young trees, which
they cover with leaves; possess no arts
except the making of bows and arrows,
and do not till the soil. They live on
the smaller game of the forest and on
nuts and berries. They regard the
leopard, which now and then makes a
meal of one of them, as their deadlicst
enemy. They live only a few days or
weeks in one place, burying themselves
in some other part of the interminable
woods as soon as the nuts and other
food supplies near their camp begin to
grow scarce.
When Schweinfurth first met the
Aka dwarfs he found himself sur
rounded by what he supposed was a
crowd of impudent boys. There were
several hundred of them, and he soon
found that they were veritable dwarfs,
and that their tribe probably numbered
several thousand souls. One of these
dwarfs was taken to Italy a few years
ago, was taught to read, and excited
much interest among scientific men.
There are other tribes of dwarfs in
Abyssinia and also in Somaliland.
1t is believed that all these people,
including the Bushmen of South Africa,
are the remains of an aboriginal popu-
latiOn that is now becoming extinct.
In the migrations and subiugations
that have been in progress for many
centuries among powerful tribes, the
dwarf tribe of Africa has been scat
tered, and its isolated fragments are
still found in widely separated parts of
the continent.-M !. Sun.
